Benzenesulfonyl chloride → HCID 10367410, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

In 100 ml of pyridine was dissolved 9.00 g of methyl 11-(2-aminoethyl)thio-6,11-dihydrodibenz-[b,e]oxepin-2-carboxylate (Compound f) obtained in Reference Example 6. Under ice cooling, 4.2 ml of benzenesulfonyl chloride was dropwise added to the solution and the mixture was stirred at room temperature overnight. Pieces of ice were added to the mixture. After stirring for further an hour, the solvent was distilled off under reduced pressure. The residue was extracted with 500 ml of ethyl acetate and the extract was washed in sequence with saturated sodium bicarbonate aqueous solution and then with saturated sodium chloride aqueous solution. After drying over anhydrous sodium sulfate, the solvent was distilled off under reduced pressure. The resulting residue was subjected to silica gel column chromatography (eluting solvent; hexane:ethyl acetate=7:3) to give 9.90 g of the desired compound.
